"She knew he couldn't keep going the way he was. She has been by his side through all of this, helping to feed him and lying by his side."

"She's been at the hospital all the time. Kim has been keeping a very close watch on him and not letting people disturb him.

All kinds of people have called and sent flowers, but she's being very careful about not letting him get wound up and making sure he rests and recovers," added the source.
